If you asked a hundred people who Mike was, they’d all tell you he was the strongest man in the world and indeed he was. He enjoyed many things in his life. Among those things were his love of driving semi-trucks, bowling, football, country music but above all else he loved his family! Mike was a very prideful man. He was honest to his core, you never had to worry about whether or not he liked you because he always made sure you knew how he felt or what he thought. If you were mad with him there was no limit to what he would do to right his wrong. He had a sense of humor like no other and loved to make his children laugh. He was a wonderful father always putting his children first and setting no limits to what he would do for them. He loved to talk about his children, if you knew Mike you knew everyone of their names as he was proud of each one. Mike knew no stranger, it did not matter where he was, he could strike up a conversation with anyone. He was born a protector with superhero like strength. He was always quick to stand up for what he believed in and to defend his family. He will truly be missed by so many who loved him. We know heaven is certainly shining a lot brighter with him as an angel. Services will be held at a later date. I Never Left You I watch you every day, I am always very near.
